Chapter 80: I’ll Help You
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
An Lan had never experienced this side of Gu Liyu.
The breath that Gu Liyu exhaled on An Lan’s neck seemed to be brewing some kind of power, with extremely strong erosive properties.
Gu Liyu lifted An Lan with one arm, and his other hand tried to grab An Lan’s restless arm. Amidst the chaotic kisses on An Lan’s neck, there was a sense of wildness.
An Lan, for the first time, wanted to curse.
What about teaching me how to control pheromones?
How did you end up in a susceptible period!
An Lan couldn’t help but suspect that maybe he shouldn’t have bitten Gu Liyu. Obviously, at that time, he endured it quite hard, and now he was invaded by his own pheromones.
To Gu Liyu, this “resistance” might not even be considered resistance. He originally cherished An Lan’s pheromones. When An Lan’s pheromones attacked excessively, this “attack” for Gu Liyu was like being magnified a thousand times… seduction.
Gu Liyu pressed An Lan to the ground. Realizing what he wanted to do, An Lan felt like his soul was about to scatter. He extended his arm, finally grabbing the leg of the coffee table. It was said to be made of North American walnut, very heavy. An Lan pulled it hard, and the coffee table made a “yelp” sound, pausing Gu Liyu for a moment.
Things on the side of the coffee table fell down, including some magazines introducing charity organizations. An Lan threw them back, all hitting Gu Liyu’s face.
Gu Liyu turned his face to the side, and An Lan wanted to pull away from his waist and move back.
Adrenaline surging, An Lan abruptly turned around and kicked fiercely on Gu Liyu’s chest. Utilizing this force, he slid backward a bit and immediately got up to run.
He had never been in such a miserable state in his life. After climbing three or four steps, he almost fell flat on the stairs.
Gu Liyu, with long strides, instantly caught up behind An Lan. Seeing that he was about to pin An Lan to the stairs, An Lan dodged to the side, climbed up, and started running again.
Rushing into the bedroom, he was just about to close the door, but it was forcefully grabbed.
An Lan gritted his teeth, ready to kick Gu Liyu, but Gu Liyu not only blocked An Lan’s knee with one hand but also pushed the door open.
“Bang—” A sound that shook An Lan’s head, making his heart feel like it was about to leap out of his throat.
The situation was irreversible, and he couldn’t keep Gu Liyu out. An Lan could only rush to the bedside table. An Lan, panicking, quickly grabbed the small iron box. Gu Liyu lifted him up and forcefully threw him down, then stepped over.
An Lan didn’t care about what Gu Liyu was going to do next. In his state of panic, he hastily opened the iron box. Gu Liyu, however, flipped him over, pressing his head down and forcing the arrow to be released.
An Lan raised his hand and injected the inhibitor into Gu Liyu’s arm, pushing all the medicine inside.
Gu Liyu still pressed An Lan’s head, as if wanting to push him away violently. An Lan closed his eyes, but Gu Liyu remained motionless, holding onto his arm and visibly trembling.
After more than ten seconds, a hoarse voice spoke.
“Sorry… you now… go out.”
An Lan finally opened his eyes, and Gu Liyu moved his hand away, then leaned against An Lan’s ear.
He lowered his head, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. From his neck to his face, it was all red, as if blood would flow out as soon as he opened his eyes.
An Lan knew the inhibitor was taking effect. He carefully moved away from between Gu Liyu’s arms.
“Hurry…” Gu Liyu turned his face away as if afraid to look at An Lan.
An Lan quickly slipped out.
When he turned over, his knees happened to touch Gu Liyu, who suddenly grabbed his legs. An Lan, who had grown taller during this time, was over six feet tall, and his legs were long and well-defined.
Gu Liyu lowered his head, and An Lan tensed, not daring to move. However, Gu Liyu just tapped his knees and pushed him out without any other action.
An Lan immediately ran out.
Gu Liyu immediately collapsed, pulled the blanket over himself, leaving behind An Lan’s scent inside.
Clean, youthful, and defenseless.
The sparks in his blood had already ignited, and this scent couldn’t calm Gu Liyu down, couldn’t make him serene.
He reached for the small iron box, opened another vial of medicine, and stabbed it down. The boiling fire in his heart couldn’t be suppressed.
Gu Liyu restlessly tossed the empty medicine vial aside and gave himself another injection, but it was of no use.
An Lan’s pheromones had an irresistible penetrating power for him. The bamboo branches lightly shook, bamboo leaves brushed against his nerves, and he only felt a thirst, wanting to rush over and pull An Lan back.
To make him cry out in the cruelest way.
At this moment, the bedroom door, which had been closed, was opened again.
Gu Liyu was very familiar with An Lan’s footsteps. He gritted his teeth as a warning, “Get out.”
Don’t challenge my bottom line.
“Gu Liyu.” An Lan repeated his name.
Very solemn, very clear.
The veins on Gu Liyu’s forehead were about to burst.
“Get out… call someone…”
“Call who? Gu Qingchuan? Xu Xingran…”
Gu Liyu couldn’t stand it and roared, “Don’t mention other men in front of me!”
“Alpha Management Committee? If they come, you’ll be isolated, right?”
An Lan opened the door and saw Gu Liyu in the most terrifying and fierce state.
“Then let me be isolated…”
“I’ll help you.”
“Do you know what a real mark is? That’s not…”
An Lan approached him, “I’ll help you…”
Gu Liyu widened his eyes, his whole body trembling like he was nailed in place, not daring to move.
The warm feeling mixed with pheromones made his blood boil, almost exploding. He tilted his chin up, exposing his neck, even if An Lan wanted to kill him, he would willingly accept it.
An Lan hadn’t expected himself to be so bold. Everything he did was just an imitation of Gu Liyu, clumsy to the point where he was afraid he might hurt the other person.
Gu Liyu was trembling violently, which made An Lan always suspect that he had done something wrong. When he wanted to take a look at Gu Liyu, the other party blocked his eyes with one hand and held him with the other.
The scent of ambergris pheromones was like waves of seawater, heating up as if an underwater volcano erupted, and magma merged into the seawater.
An Lan remembered that time in the shower. Although he endured it because of Xiao Chen and Xu Xingran in the next room, making each second feel like an eternity, Gu Liyu now showed no signs of stopping.
Suddenly, An Lan thought of something, moved away from him, and was pulled back. He fell onto Gu Liyu.
“Where are you going…”
His eyes were very deep, like the sea before the storm, with dark clouds hanging low, on the verge of collapse.
An Lan kissed his hand on the back, saying, “I’ll be right back.”
Gu Liyu closed his eyes and pushed An Lan away.
An Lan quickly ran to the kitchen downstairs, opened the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, and indeed found ice cubes.
He pulled out the ice cubes clattering, poured them into a cup, and didn’t bother to clean up the ones that fell on the floor and in the sink. Holding the cup, he ran back into the bedroom. When he pushed open the door, he saw Gu Liyu sitting against the head of the bed, hugging his knees, hands circling himself, shoulders trembling slightly.
“You…Why did you come back again….”
An Lan finally understood that Gu Liyu had let him go just now.
“Uh, I’m back.”
An Lan placed the cup on the bedside, took a piece of ice, and the ice made a cracking sound between his teeth. He was about to move closer to Gu Liyu when Gu Liyu pressed his forehead with one hand, pushing him away.
“You’ve been trying for a long time… Stop trying… Call Gu Qingchuan.”
Gu Liyu’s voice wasn’t as shaky as before, but the pheromones in the room remained intense, accelerating An Lan’s heartbeat.
An Lan didn’t say anything and just nestled into Gu Liyu’s arms.
The expected warm feeling didn’t appear. On the contrary, the sudden coldness made Gu Liyu’s breath catch in his throat.
The fusion of ice and fire drove Gu Liyu mad. He held An Lan tightly, feeling like he was falling from ten thousand meters, crashing into a snowy, icy wilderness.
It was a peculiar sensation, blood that was about to break free from the body’s control suddenly freezing. Gu Liyu’s breath gradually stabilized.
An Lan raised his head and smiled, “It looks like it really worked!”
Gu Liyu gently touched his hair but didn’t dare to touch him more forcefully. The return of his hard-won sanity might collapse with An Lan’s carefree smile.
“Where did you learn this from?” Gu Liyu asked.
An Lan hesitated for a moment but didn’t answer.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Gu Liyu continued.
“Hurts.”
Obviously, shove a light bulb into your mouth and see if it hurts!
And there was no way to tell him that alphas had their own action movies, and betas had their classic works, right?
As An Lan was about to turn around, Gu Liyu suddenly pressed him.
“Don’t…”
An Lan thought he was going to say “Don’t go” or something similar, so he quickly reassured him, “It’s too messy…”
Meaning if he didn’t tidy up quickly, when Song Kelan came back, she would probably faint on the spot.
“I mean… don’t turn your back to me,” Gu Liyu said.
“What’s behind me?” An Lan subconsciously touched his back.
Gu Liyu answered, “Do you know where a real mark is made?”
An Lan stiffened; he lowered his head. The sweatpants he had on earlier were long gone, and he was now wearing boxers, his long legs foolishly exposed.
Gu Liyu turned his face away, but his ears were very red.
An Lan rolled off the bed, grabbed a pair of pajamas, and quickly put them on before going downstairs to tidy up the living room.
The room quieted down, and Gu Liyu glanced at the glass on the bedside table, his brow furrowing again.
The susceptible period wouldn’t be over so quickly.
He should lock the door, not let An Lan in anymore, and then call Gu Qingchuan, asking him to take him to the hospital for isolation.
But deep down, he was longing for An Lan to hold him, comfort him, and stay by his side.
Gu Liyu sighed deeply, pressing his head. Another round of the susceptible period was about to start.
An Lan returned to the living room, pushed the walnut wood coffee table back to its original position, picked up the magazines, and neatly arranged them. He accidentally kicked his pants, and his heart shivered without reason, suddenly remembering Gu Liyu’s fierce determination when he pulled it off. His cheeks were sore, and An Lan rubbed his face.
Carrying his pants, An Lan stepped on the stairs, standing at a high place, double-checking the arrangement of the living room. At this moment, the strong scent of ambergris pheromones spread again, low and deep, as if the ceiling could collapse at any moment.
“Why… is it happening again?”
An Lan quickly ran back to the bedroom, pushed open the door, and found Gu Liyu curled up there again, covering himself with the blanket.
“Are you trying to ignore it?”
An Lan felt pity, opened the blanket, and got in.
At around ten in the evening, the charity event organized by Song Kelan finally came to an end, and Gu Qingchuan drove her back.
“Qingchuan, thank you,” Song Kelan said with a smile.
“Did you mention that Little Yu and the others are back?” Gu Qingchuan asked curiously.
“It’s already past ten; they must be back. Little Yu has always had a regular schedule.”
“But that’s not necessarily true. Kids at this age, when the person they like is around, they will be restless and sleepless…”
As Gu Qingchuan spoke, he frowned, “Such a strong pheromone!”
Song Kelan also smelled it, “This is Little Yu’s pheromone… what’s going on!”
She immediately opened the door, but as soon as there was a gap, the strong scent of ambergris pheromones rushed towards them like a surging tide. Song Kelan almost couldn’t stand steady.
Gu Qingchuan quickly supported Song Kelan. Even as a high-quality alpha, he took a step back due to the high concentration.
“Oh no… it’s the susceptible period!”
Song Kelan also reacted, “The susceptible period… this can’t be possible. Little Yu has always controlled it well…”
“That’s because he never liked anyone before!”
Gu Qingchuan quickly ran upstairs.
Even if it was the pheromones of his own son, at such a high concentration, Song Kelan was oppressed and could only move up step by step while grabbing the handrail.
“I hope nothing goes wrong…”
Gu Qingchuan originally thought the bedroom door was locked, but unexpectedly, it opened with a push.
The pheromones in this space were even stronger, and suddenly facing such a high concentration, Gu Qingchuan’s legs also softened for a moment.
“Little Yu… How is Little Yu?” Song Kelan asked anxiously.
“Don’t come over.” Gu Qingchuan warned in a cold voice.
Song Kelan stiffened, a bad premonition surging through her heart. Even if she was internally fearful, she wanted to know her son’s condition.
“I said don’t come over, leave it to me.”
Gu Qingchuan entered the bedroom and, along the way, locked the door to prevent Song Kelan from really coming in.
Not to mention the concentration of pheromones, just this kind of scene, Gu Qingchuan was worried that Song Kelan couldn’t bear it.
Gu Liyu sat leaning against the bedside, holding someone in his arms, the quilt covering them just right, revealing only a few strands of black hair.
There was no need to lift the quilt; Gu Qingchuan knew who that person was. After all, the only person Gu Liyu would hold like this could only be An Lan.
In addition to the scent of ambergris, Gu Qingchuan also keenly smelled another fragrance, a luxurious scent with a hint of bloodiness, growing stronger as he got closer.
Gu Qingchuan understood too well what would happen to an alpha in the susceptible period when facing their lover. Moreover, this alpha couldn’t find satisfaction through temporary bonding, making his loss of control even more severe, possibly leading to the death of his partner.
If… something happened to An Lan, Gu Liyu’s life would be over.
At this moment, Gu Liyu seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, his brow relaxed, showing no signs of being in the susceptible period.
The quieter it was, the more nervous Gu Qingchuan became. He was about to pull back the quilt when Gu Liyu’s eyes suddenly opened, and his icy gaze swept over.
“What are you going to do?”
“You…What did you do to An Lan?” Gu Qingchuan asked.
“Nothing,” Gu Liyu replied.
The quilt slipped down, stopping right at An Lan’s shoulders. He was sleeping with his head tilted, one hand encircling Gu Liyu, leaning against his chest, sleeping soundly. Despite looking tired, his posture of attachment didn’t seem like he feared Gu Liyu at all.
“The whole villa is filled with your pheromones.” Gu Qingchuan spoke with a steady voice. He was about to step forward to confirm An Lan’s safety when he accidentally kicked an iron box with his toe. Inside was Gu Liyu’s suppressant.
There were three left. The box could hold six doses, meaning Gu Liyu had used at most three.
“I’m in the susceptible period,” Gu Liyu answered.
Gu Qingchuan’s pupils trembled. Originally elegant, his face turned cold, “Then why let An Lan stay by your side? He’s not an omega, and he can’t comfort you…”
“If he’s not by my side, I’ll really go crazy.” Gu Liyu lowered his head, fingers gently stroking An Lan’s hair.
“How are you feeling now?” Gu Qingchuan asked.
“I’m fine.”
“With such a strong pheromone, and you say you’re fine?” Gu Qingchuan didn’t believe it at all. He held Gu Liyu’s wrist, feeling his pulse.
It was indeed a normal pulse.
Gu Qingchuan found it hard to believe.
“You really haven’t done anything to An Lan?”
“Nothing.” Gu Liyu hugged An Lan, looking at Gu Qingchuan with a warning gaze.
Gu Qingchuan understood very well that they couldn’t be separated at this moment. Gu Liyu had just recovered from the susceptible period, and any touch on his lover could stimulate him, possibly causing him to return to the susceptible period.
“Go out,” Gu Liyu said, holding An Lan tighter. “The smell on you is unbearable.”
This was the possessiveness of an alpha. Even if An Lan was sound asleep, Gu Liyu couldn’t tolerate him smelling anything other than himself.
“If you want me to leave, you must let me make sure An Lan is okay.”
Gu Qingchuan’s heart was pounding hard. He was prepared to be rejected by Gu Liyu, even to be attacked by Gu Liyu’s pheromones. But compared to the safety of An Lan, it was more important. Otherwise, when Gu Liyu completely emerged from the susceptible period, he would be very pained for hurting his beloved.
